>Description:
sbruno@ and I were tinkering with iwn found out that it does not support adhoc mode:
# ifconfig wlan create wlandev iwn0 wlanmode adhoc
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Operation not supported
dmesg shows:
iwn0: IBSS mode not supported
Which seems correct looking at the code from $src/sys/dev/iwn/if_iwn.c:
584 #if 0
585 | IEEE80211_C_IBSS /* ibss/adhoc mode */
586 #endif
Here is the patch to reflect that in man page.
